(KAIR)--Repair work, made necessary by local storms, means KAIR 93.7 FM will be off the air for much of Tuesday.
Justin Fluke, President of KNZA, Inc., owner of the radio station, says the station’s tower, located near Horton, was struck by lightning a little over a month ago, with an assessment from experts determining the antennae to not be repairable.
Because of that, a new antennae will be installed, leaving KAIR off the air, beginning around 9:00 Tuesday morning. The work is expected to last 8 to 10 hours.
Despite the terrestrial broadcast downtime, KAIR will continue to broadcast online at mscnews.net or through the use of an Alexa device.
Once the antenna replacement work is complete, the radio station is expected to return to full broadcast strength and clarity.
